    Yoga Paint Part 2 – Dancer’s Pose – Natarajasana


    2015 - 01.26

    Yoga Series Continued…

    Dancer’s Pose – Natarajasana – 12″ x 36″ x 1.5″

    This was a 6 part  yoga painting – Step 1) Gesso the canvas black – Step 2) Resin over the canvas was a black tinted resin – Step 3) Mark exactly where the pose would be painted – Step 4) Sand the area to be painted – Step 5) Apply clear gesso to sanded area – Steph 6) Paint Pose

    The painting was completed using just a palette knife. The pose has a nice thick texture that was accomplished by the use of modeling paste added to the acrylic paint.

    In the first picture, you can see that the resined black background gives a mirror effect, reflecting whatever is in front of the canvas. It has a glass-like top finish, and the pose has a non-reflective matte finish.

    The second picture shows how the reflection moves as you move, showing off the matte finish pose.

    The last picture is a detail shot of the palette knife work.

    Third On Canvas 2013 – Alexis Martinez Puleio


    2013 - 02.08

    IT IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR!!! That is right! I just finished my two day painting event for Third On Canvas 2013! The weather in Florida was absolutely PERFECT for the event! I was lucky enough to paint next to Popo Flanigan, who is so nice and was a joy to work next to.

    For last year’s Third On Canvas event, I painted orchids and got label as “The Orchid Lady”. In keeping with the name, I wanted to do orchids again this year. However, I stepped up my game this year and introduced RESIN to the artwork!

    I started by painting a wood board a Sea Foam green color, then poured on resin, painted my acrylic orchids on top of this resin coat, and then added a top coat of resin to the painting. This gave a great “floating” effect, with a natural shadow.

    Here are some photos of my White Orchid Painting on Resin, and my Purple Orchid Painting, as well as some fun photos from the day!

    Enjoy!

    Gulf Coast Painting with Resin


    2013 - 02.08

    This is one of my favorite paintings that I did, mostly because it was a painting that I did in my free time.

    I used Oil Paints in a stick form, on wood board, to create the waves crashing here on the Florida Gulf Coast. This Gulf Coast Painting was then coated in epoxy resin…one of my FAVORITE things to do! I loveeeee resin!

    Here is the final product:

    The Gulf Coast Painting

    Enjoy!
